This has disadvantages, for it is not possible to roast each batch alike. One may be underdone — another overdone.

Be-| sides, n.—lt wouldn't have been fair to Pies “Pierre?” The sheriff glanced at| the telegram in his hand. “Who is this Pierre Donovan?” Ann looked appealingly at Old Tony. “Pierre Donovan, |tor spoke impressively, ferring to a personage of more than ordinary importance, “Plerre son of one Roy Donovan and Harriet Noel, " his wife. She died when her son was only a child and I had the honor to be appointed by her as executor of her will and guardian of her son. Pierre is destined to be as| great an artist of the stage as was his mother. “Harriet Noel was one of the | greatest actresses of her day. Her box grew to manhood in the atmos- | phere of the theatre—so far as it was possible for me to create such an atmosphere for him in Orchard Hil” “His home is it “Pierre made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Carey. These three i young people, sir, grew up togeth-} er in Orchard Hill" “This man is an actor, you say?” “Plerre Donovan was born to be an actor. His earliest memories are of the theatre—when he was on the stage in child parts with his mother. He has been reared in the best traditions of dramatic art. He was about to begin his life work by enrolling in the Academy of Dramatic Art when suddenly this unfortunate situation develop- ed.” “And so Pierre lived with you and’ your husband, Mrs. Carey?” Poor Ann's reply was scarcely audible. “Yes, sir.” “And did he work in the bank, ‘too, with your father and your !| husband?” “Oh, no, sir. Plerre worked in the ©Owl Drug Store. He was a soda fountain clerk.” “What did you mean, Mrs. Car- €y, when you said just now that you couldn’t tell. why your husband went, away because it wouldn’t be' fair to your soda fountain actor friend?” Again Ann turned to Old Tony| appealingly. “Must I tell him, Fa- ther Tony?” “I'm afraid you must, Ann.” The. sheriff waited. At last Ann managed to speak. “Bruce thought that Pierre and 1 were in love with each other—I mean in a way that we had no right to be. In the letter he left for me he said that I had been untrue to him, and that was why he was leaving me and was never coming back. Don't you see, sir, why I couldn't let anybody know that Bruce had left me for such a reason as that? Don't you see how unfair it would have been to Pierre?” “Pierre knew why your husband left you, did he?” “Oh, yes, sir, Pierre and Father ,Tony read the letter. after the of- ficers .took. father away. And we {decided it would be best not to mention the letter to anyone—and that Pierre must go and find back home before the ofifcers could arrest him for the bank trouble.” “What made you thlnk Bmcel might be in these parts " the old ac- as if r is in Orchard Hill, IIIIIIIIIllIIHIHHflifliflfllfllHHIIHII}HIIHHIIIIIIHNHMIMHMINWMHHHIHMHImmllllm'HI"IIIIIIIIiflIflHHIIIHl!IHml /LET GO THE LIFE-BOAT/ serted Plerre and his mother when Pierre was a little boy, wrote Bruce about a wonderful gold mine out here and wanted Bruce to gat money to put in it.” “And did Bruce get money to in- |vest in this mine?” Ann answered this question with wemanly indignation as she re- membered how Bruce had taken Pierre’s money. “Yes, sir, he did. |Plerre to let him have his school money. But Pierre doesn’t know that it is his father who has this He persuaded |mine. Pierre's father wasn't good to his mother, and Bruce thought, if Pierre knew, he wouldn’t let him have the money.” “Didn‘t the officers know aboi this mine?” “They didn’t know about it when‘ Fa!her Tony and I left Orchard |Hill. You see, from the first, Bruce never would let us tell an body about it, because he was con- nected with the bank and he| thought Mr. Dayton, the presi-| |dent, wouldn’t like him to be in- terested in mines and such things. “I see. So you thought Pierre could find your husband and bring him back home before the sheriff icould locate him?” “Yes, sir.” ‘What about your father, Mrs Carey? He is under arrest for this bank crime, ain’t he?” Ann wrung her hands. sir. And that is another reason why Bruce must come home. Bruce will know what to do to help fath- er. “We—we didn’t know what to do. T—I needed Bruce so, Don’t you understand, sir? Don’t you?” “There, there, ma’am,” the sher- iff assured her. “Sure, I under- stand. But what are you and your old friend .deing away out. here in Nevada?” “We came because I was so wor- ried about Bruce and Pierre.
